Confrontation Review

Confrontation is a strange game. This is a game that truly poses a conundrum. What's so weird is that I actually had fun playing Confrontation at times, but its flaws were so evident and so glaring that, despite my mild enjoyment, I simply cannot bring myself to praise this game all that much.

There sure are a lot of first-person shooters on the market at the moment. But there's little denying that there's a visceral thrill to blowing things away from a realistic perspective. Otherwise why would the genre remain popular?

Modern Warfare 2's developer, Infinity Ward, recently promised their billion-dollar market downloadable content on March 30th. Yesterday, DICE countered, fueling the fire between the rival titles, announcing that Bad Company 2's DLC will launch on the same day.

"Peek and lean is something that has always been in Medal of Honor, and we'll keep that," the executive producer of the new game told IncGamers.

But Sony's Social Media Manager, Jeff Rubenstein, disagrees. Read More
